When it comes to the kitchen, simplicity reigns supreme. Cooking gadgets and tools are novel, but more often than not, they're better in concept than actuality. The Twist Whisk, which transforms from a flat whisk to a balloon whist, appears to be a bit of an anomaly.

When you twist the handle, the teflon-coated steel wires rearrange themselves to better suit your task at hand. When you're done, the whisk is can be pulled apart for easier washing. And not only does does the design look fantastic, but this thing is cheap. Only 10 bucks! [Sur la Table via CoDesign]
